Think the thing that summarized Trad vs Piety for me is: Trad wants to be up fast, the land *needs* to have good tiles early, rivers, chops and lots of hills. Water mills and caravans carry your game, getting it up quickly with plenty of spare hammers for wonders. Piety on the other hand, doesn't give a shit. If the land has strong tiles, woohoo! If the land has chops, woohoo! But it doesn't matter nearly as much as trad, because your religion and temples are what you rely on, not the land.
I always saw it as, Tradition can't get a good religion so relies on its land, Liberty gets good bonuses so abuses the land, Honor takes others good land and Piety gets a good religion to make up for mediocre land.
I just started playing lekmod about 3 weeks ago and ive noticed that playing tall basically fucking sucks unless you have the grand temple bonuses from piety. thats just my hot take.
Definitely a hot take lol. Tall and wide are about the same strength in lek. That being said, wide is easier to compete in demos with not as strong of sim. Tall games are all about tempo and keeping that momentum alive. Usually it will teeter out at around landships/tanks but can go on longer depending on how strong the tall players' game is or rather how weak the rest of the lobby is
Your content has reignited my love for civ 5. Great stuff 👍🏼
